Hi, I’m Antonio.
In 2010, I received a Fulbright research grant to Syria where I studied the midday meal in Aleppo. I am forever indebted to the Syrians who opened their homes and hearts to me, showing me the richness of their cuisine and hospitality. This blog started as part of that experience and has turned into a lifelong journey to document, share, and celebrate the vibrant foodways of the Middle East. Ahlan w sahlan.
